My invention relates to improvements in spray forming devices and theobject of my invention isto provide a spray forming device of simple,cheap and efficient construe-A I operation.

tion that may be connected with a hoseor Y.

conduit through which water under pressure Fig2`is a view partly insection and partly in elevation on a llarger'scale of the saine, certainportions being broken away.

Referring to the drawings, throughout which like'refere'nce numeralsdesignate like \parts, 'designates ya tube connected at one end withanozzle member 6 havinga tubular passageway 7 that terminates in adischarge orifice 9 of restricted area. A triangularly shaped sprayforming member or bathe plate 10 is supported in front of disehargeorifice 9 by a wire 11 that extends through a suitable hole in a lug 12on nozzle member 6 and is adjustably secured to said lug'12 by a screw13. A` slip collar 14 on .nozzle 6 and movable longitudinally thereof,

serves to adjust wire 11, thereby governing the position of spra/yforming plate 10 and thus 'regulating the spray that is formed by saidplaterom the liquid discharging from oricev9.

The' inlet endot pipe 5is connected with avalve 15, which may beconnected with a hose' or conduit 16 through which water under pressuremai;or be supplied. f. Nozzle member 6 has a tubular branch i conduit 8extending therefrom and inclined toward the rear end of saidmozzle, theco'nduit 8 being connected byfa flexible connector orvhose 17 with abell shaped suct-ioI which liquid, as chemical for forming a .suit--gable spray'may be contained.. The suction.

member 18 A has notches-19` in its p1eripheralA portions around thebottom edge so that when it is placed on the bottom of container 21,liquid may enter through the notches 19, v

it being practically impossible to obstruct the entrance ot such liquid.

A disc 20, preferably of rubber, is provided on nozzle 6 just to the.rear of lug 12 tojprevent liquid from the spray nozzle from flowingbackwardly rlown nozzle 6 and pipe 5 and .getting onto the hands orperson ot the operator of the device.

In operation, the device may be connected with a hose 16 asfshown, thebail of container 21 may be placed over the valve member 15 orpipe'whereby the cont-ainer'will be sup-f ported, and the suction member 18may be placed in the container. Flow ot water nnd`er pressure throughnozzle 7 will cause solution from container 21 to'be drawn upwardlythrough hose 17 and passageway into nozzle 7 where said solution will bemixed with esv the water thereby forming a proper spray. 1

The solution and water being discharged from-orifice 9 will strikeforcibly against spray forming member 10 thus breaking the said waterand solution up into a l finely divided spray and directing it outwardlyin the proper manner. The position of spray ffo'rming member 10 may bequickly and easily regulated by slip ring 14: which is movable towardand away from lug 12 andY which serves when so moved to bend or flexwire 11 thereby varying the i angular position of spray. formino member10-. ,Wire 1l may, also be. adjusted by looseningscrew 13 and movingsaid wire within lug 1,2 to bring` sprayforming member l() closer to orfarther away from orifice 9.

It 'will be obvious that by attaching the spray member 10 with a wire 11to the lug 12 the spray may be raised by the movement of the ring 14toward thF-leit -forin doing so the wire. 11 is thereby made moreresilient and w-hen the force 'of the water and solution strikes thememberllO it will cause a coarser spray than the member 1() will wheninthe position shownV in Fig. 2.

lThe foregoing description vand accompanying. drawings clearly Adisclosea. preferred embodiment ofmyinvention butit will be understood that'this disclosure is merely illustrative and that numerous changes may bemade within thel scope following claim. y r
